I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

So, I got mansplained to yesterday about how there’s no sexism in the rap music business because Salt ‘N Pepa. OK, white guy! Also the videographer told me that he liked me because I was feisty. All in all a somewhat strange day.

I am still poking away at Eight Crazy Nights, I swear!

giandujakiss : Anything Abbie & Ichabod, snarking at each other over Ichabod's adjustments to the modern world, would make me so happy!


( shot heard round the world )


wendelah1: in honor of the twentieth anniversary of The X-Files, how about a holiday ficlet?

( a kiss under the mistletoe ... or was that toe? )

For Anonymous: It occurs to me that Smallville's Clark got his superhearing very shortly after the events of "Asylum." What if that ability came just a bit sooner?


( can you hear me now? )


For ceares: It's sad that's I've burned out on TVD and have no idea what's going on but I'd still love some Bonnie/Matt/Jeremy if you're so inclined.

( NC-17, in which Matt shares the benefit of his experience )

END

Happy Hanukkah!

OK, so my professional writing has been so overloaded that these are going to be more uncertain than usual, but I still might have some room if anyone wants to prompt me. (Pro tip: even if you decline travel, if you agree to write multiple book chapters you will still have a miserable semester. The More You Know.)

For wendelah1 :, how does it work for the people in one timeline when you start another one? Do Peter, Olivia and Astrid just go on for a while and then blink out of existence? What do people do when they know they're living on borrowed time, in a sense?

( You may ask yourself, how do I work this? )


For serrico: SPN: Sam finds something in the MoL bunker that gives him pause.

( threw away the key )


more tomorrow, I hope!  Happy Thanksgivukkah!

So, not only did I whiff on the eighth night, I miscounted! Somehow I convinced myself I had 8 more written than I did. So I decided to finish this one up and just start again next year. Happy holidays, in any event!

for josephina_x and anonymous: A sequel to Locked Room Mystery, in which President Luthor tries to figure out how he knows Clark.

( I'm not sure you know what being my friend would entail )

For jakrar: Original prompt: Smallville - Clex: Lex has a more dramatic power than mutant healing, and his first adult meeting with Clark highlights Lex's power rather than any of Clark's. So...would Clark go crazy trying to find out what Lex can do, and why?


( time stands still )


for arysteia: Clark's graduation and all Lex's feels

( graduated response )


... and for avidrosette: Smallville, Clark/Lex, what if Clark's experience of pleasure had been as muffled as his experience of pain, leaving him desperate to feel? NC-17; Self-harm; BDSM elements.

( The Kindest Cut )

for jadelennox, Vampire Diaries, “made out of clay.”

( and when it's dry and ready )


... and for wendelah1: Fringe/X-Files cross-over fic! Maybe Scully is asked to consult on a case. Mulder can come, too.

( The precision of your incisions )


... and for anonymous: Captured by the Game verse!! Please for all that is holy with a cherry on top could you add another part??? Note: Okay, I’ve kicked around various alternate paths for them; this is a continuation of this earlier bit.

( I was there first )


... and for lilyoftheval5: Dark Angel - Max/Alec - In a near future Transgenics had the chance and the time to start developing their own society, social structures that feel natural to them. There are Heats. There are hierarchies. There are children.

( natural aptitude )

for leyna: Covert Affairs: Annie's life is usually lived at high speed. What do bored agents get up to when trapped in a cargo container or a missile silo, or a canadian shack for days? (The odd-couples try not to kill each other version, the team-mate-bonding version, or the smut version - whatever you like.) Note: most of the above? Eyal/(Annie)/Auggie, Annie/Auggie. NC-17.

( Safe House )

for jakrar: Original ficlet: Smallville - Clex: Lex and Clark are exposed to something which not only induces amnesia but also body-switches them. Lionel takes ‘Lex’ back to the mansion to see how he can best use his son’s current vulnerability to his own advantage, while the Kents take ‘Clark’ back to the farm and tell him to stay home and away from outsiders until he’s himself again.


( The nightmares were the worst part )


... and for arysteia: I'm assuming Lex winning a hard-fought election on a left wing platform and proving billionaires don't have to be supervillains is too on the nose? ;-p (Note: There might be some supervillainy here, but it is well intentioned.)

( What's the Matter with Kansas? )

for jakrar: Original prompt: Smallville - Clex: Suppose, just before Brainiac and the Zod-minions escaped doomed Krypton, someone tried to disable Zod's super-computer with an untested computer virus, and it had an unexpected effect: once Brainiac reached Earth, instead of being determined to carry out Zod's plans, he decided instead to do everything he could to make Lex Luthor happy (but without informing Lex Luthor)... Original ficlet here.

( Clark Kent's debts had been racked up in Smallville. )


for serrico: When Cas comes back, Sam thinks his presence might make Dean more willing to let Sam stop hunting and live his normal life--but instead, Dean just seems to hold onto them both more tightly.
( separation anxiety )

for giandujakiss: Revenge - Nolan and Emily, BFFs! And/or, having finished with Emily's Revenge, go on the road doing long cons on the 1%. Either one, or both!

( You owe me, Ems )


... and

for kass: Fringe, the Bishop family (any definition thereof), waffles

( Walter has discovered molecular gastronomy )


... I may actually finish on time this year!

for jadelennox: Vampire Diaries. Any character (though I vote Bonnie, because of Katarina Graham) who has at least one Jewish parent and decides to celebrate Hanukkah.

( Bonnie lights, Damon snarks--the usual division of labor )
